What Is A Horseshoe Mustache

This testosterone-fueled style is not the right choice for everyone. If you’re the masculine type without a beard, then you can try it. All you need to do is to grow a thick mustache all the way down to your jaw and keep the chin and the cheeks clean-shaven all the time otherwise you’ll end up looking trashy. It’s supposed to look like an inverted U or as the name suggests, a horseshoe. No history or more significant events tied to this particular style, but as we said it’s kind of a symbol for the macho wrestlers, NFL players, and the heavy metal icons.

Who Can Pull It Off?

Although the Horseshoe mustache can accommodate almost every face type out-there I would suggest it most to the macho types. It gives out a rough appearance so the life style should match the mustache style. I would say that square and round faces would benefit more from this particular mustache style. The two lines descending past the mouth add some vertical direction to the face, making it appear longer.

TIPS & TRICKS

Be aware that you must have a thick or medium density mustache to achieve the maximum effect. I would strongly not recommend it for the patchy type because it simply looks ridiculous. There are few tricks that make your beard thicker and you can find them in the links below. But the most important tip is that maintenance is the key to preserving the perfect horseshoe mustache style.

There are between 10,000 and 20,000 hairs on a man’s face and the average moustache has 600.

Step 1

Trimm your mustache to about 3-5 mm. The whiskers should be a bit longer.

Step 2

Use the trimmer to create a straight line from the outside and inside corner of your lips to your chin. The line should be distanced about 5 mm from your lips. You choose how thick you want to be your whiskers.

Step 3

Make sure the upper edge of your mustache is also nice and clean.

Step 4

When you are all done stylizing the horseshoe mustache, you should shave the remaining facial hair on your neck, cheeks, and chin. Be careful around the mustache.

Maintaining Your Horseshoe Mustache

Keep in mind that this mustache style requires regular maintenance. You should shave the neck, chin, and cheeks every few days to keep it clean. Also, don’t forget the regular oils and balms treatment.
